Imbolc Blogoversary – Winter 2018

This Blog Officially LAUNCHED February of 2017, making this Imbolc my 12 month Blogoversary!

I was really glad late last year when I realized I had about 10 posts or so in the hopper. This meant I was assured to last past my 1 year anniversary. The one year mark tends to separates the wheat from the chaff.

I was also really glad to pass the 50k mark of views in my first year. Albeit rather arbitrary, this was the milestone I hoped for when I was assessing whether or not I really wanted to stick this whole blog thing out.

It is also time once again to highlight the progress of my blog.

I did my first PodCast interview with Jace and Clark over at MillionairesUnveiled. It has not been released yet.

As as today, I have $118,000 less debt on the books than I did nine months ago. Not too shabby.

I started up an Account at RealtyShares. Will test it out in 2018 to see what I think of it as an investment vehicle.

Popularity of my posts ranked;

Imbolc is a Gaelic tradition marking the beginning of spring. Most commonly it is held on 1 February, or about halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Originally a festival for the Goddess Brigid, Brigid’s crosses were made and a doll-like figure of Brigid, called a Brídeóg, would be paraded from house-to-house. Brigid was also invoked to protect homes and livestock. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals, along with Beltain, Lughnasadh, and Samhain.

As a fellow blogger in only my 5th month, these are very interesting stats. I have barely tapped your top sources being Reddit, Facebook and Rockstar. They look like good opportunities for traffic. Tom

Congratulations! Since I started blogging, I can now appreciate how hard each of those numbers are.
Having said that, you deserve every single one of them. And probably more. I love reading your posts.

I don’t know why they are different other than I prefer google’s numbers because they are more widely used (and generally slightly higher, I find) Reddit is full of people who are really into something. A million different topics, but this is the one I am talking about, go check it out. https://www.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/

Awesome stats and awesome job on the debt reduction! I love Reddit, but I haven’t tried using it to market my blog. Maybe I should give it a whirl! Probably have to make a new account for that though 🤔

Congrats and happy blogiversary!! I find Reddit to be a rabbit hole of a time suck vortex haha. Sometimes the comment threads get nested so deep and then people start bashing each other. I have some friends who love Reddit though and read it every day.

As a total newbie, I really appreciate your sharing your numbers. The stats are inspiring and impressive–congratulations! Also, I can’t yet imagine the feeling of having ten posts in reserve…the blogger equivalent of having a nice fat emergency fund.
